Rule leakage

Discount redemptions that fired outside the rule as configured (wrong weekday, wrong category). Computed from ticket attributes; the fix is drafted as a POS rule change for a person to apply.

Leakage is money the discount was never meant to spend, and it is usually the cheapest money to recover. Typical cases are a weekday-only deal firing on Saturday, or a vape-only deal applied to flower.

In the demo tenant, a vape discount configured for Monday–Thursday was checked against ticket attributes and found firing Friday–Sunday and on non-vape categories. The fix was a POS discount-rule correction, drafted as a task for the store lead, who applied it. One store, on a CSV export with no rule ID on discount lines, had to be excluded from the leakage figure and says so on the report; partial data is labelled, not guessed.

The check is part of BudAlly's free audit. Overnight, BudAlly reconciles every package, receipt and discount line and reports which discounts fired outside their rules. Nothing is changed in the POS.
